The Performance Consequences of Ambidexterity in Strategic Alliance Formations: Empirical Investigation and Computational Theorizing (2007, background): “Building relationships with new alliance partners repositions firms in their networks and gradually confers them a competitive advantage (Perry-Smith and Shalley 2003).”
Organizational Learning: From Experience to Knowledge (2011, neutral): “Strong network ties can constrain creativity when they are formed with similar others, and thus limit the exposure to new information (Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003; Perry-Smith, 2006).”
A Little Creativity Goes a Long Way: An Examination of Teams’ Engagement in Creative Processes (2004, background): “Although conceptual work has proposed that contact with others should be positively associated with creative processes (e.g.,Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003; Woodman et al., 1993), this represents the first study that indicates that contact in the form of socializing during breaks at work and outside…”
Knowledge Hiding Behaviors and Team Creativity: The Contingent Role of Perceived Mastery Motivational Climate (2019, background): “…the consequence of collection novel blends of the different points of view and ways to deal with which individuals are uncovered through social discussions (Černe et al., 2014; Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003); thus, creativity depends on knowledge and information sharing through social interactions.”
Leadership, Creative Problem-Solving Capacity, and Creative Performance: The Importance of Knowledge Sharing (2013, background): “Perry-Smith and Shalley (2003) suggested that weak ties should be related to creativity due to the breadth of connections and access to more diverse sources and non-redundant information.”
Crowdsourcing New Product Ideas over Time: An Analysis of the Dell IdeaStorm Community (2013, background): “Interactions and communication with diverse others helps individuals to generate various alternatives, revise their own knowledge, and reﬁne their ideas, making it more likely that an organization wants to implement the proposed ideas (Perry-Smith and Shalley 2003, Perry-Smith 2006).”
Voice Flows to and around Leaders (2013, background): “By extension, it is more likely to provide novel understanding about previously unseen options (Perry-Smith and Shalley, 2003; Zhou and George, 2003; Cross and Cummings, 2004) that, in turn, can be leveraged for the success of one’s own unit (Zacarro, Rittman, and Marks, 2001).”
Superman or the Fantastic Four? Knowledge Combination and Experience in Innovative Teams (2006, background): “Working in groups exposes individuals to a broader set of perspectives, and cross-fertilization of ideas results in more creative outcomes (Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003; Tesluk, Farr, & Klein, 1997).”
Factors Influencing Individual Creativity in the Workplace: An Examination of Quantitative Empirical Research (2005, background): “Creativity is rarely described in discrete terms; rather, it is viewed as a continuous notion focusing on how relatively creative a given concept or product may be (Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003).”
Reflexivity: The Role of Embedded Social Position and Entrepreneurial Social Skill in Processes of Field Level Change (2016, background): “In fact, more recent theorizing on creativity in organizations suggests that it is the empirically unexplored interaction of individual cognitive traits and structural/social position that offers the best opportunity for future research on organizational creativity (Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003).”
